Cloudy, a bit of dank hop on the nose (the mosaic, I presume), but also a touch of diacetyl. Sweeter, heavier malts. The hops take on a papaya notes.

Pint can. The beer is a light orange-tan-yellow color. Pretty much clouded through. White head, foamy and fairly thick. The aroma has a bunch of tropical fruit with a spicier citrus edge. Kiwi, melon, pineapple, lime, pepper, grass, papaya. Pretty light on the palate. Somewhat soft. Moderate bitterness. It’s pretty dry and refreshing. Nice crackery malt in the background. Easy to drink. Lots of good hop flavor comes through in the taste. Nice beer. Fun to be able to get something like this without difficulty like lines and whatnot. Forgot to enter this rating earlier.

Poured from a 16 oz can date 04/26/2017. Aroma is fairly hoppy with bright tropical fruit notes of melon, passion fruit, kiwi, and lychee. Some light resinous notes with medium light cracker malt notes. hints of alcohol. A little more graham cracker as it warms. Pours a rather hazy, dull orange color with a medium large to large, moderately thick, fluffy, white head that slowly falls into itself until it gets to a thin film that lingers. Moderately high lacing and small legs. Flavor is somewhat sweet with some medium light cracker and light graham cracker notes. Moderately strong, juicy hop notes with kiwi, mandarin, tangerine, lychee and passionfruit. Hints of dank resin notes. Moderate bitterness with a hint of alcohol spice. Mouthfeel is medium bodied with medium carbonation. Low astringency and medium low alcohol warmth. Overall, a rather nice, under the radar IPA. The tropical fruit notes could be a bit brighter, but some of this is due to the mild character of the fruit these hops are mimicking. The alcohol is a bit of a creeper.
